Looted - The Proclaimers

Looted and brought to the Louvre

Flesh just as plump as a baby’s

Bet you see more than I do

Looking beyond the truth

Bonjour mon amis!

Hope this won’t sound mean

But you stand alongside Britain

As thieving scum supreme

Yet I stand here with you

48th in line

Just to gaze in wonder

It happens every time

Looted and brought to the Louvre

Skin just as pink as a lady’s

I bet you see more than I do

Looking beyond the truth

And your eyes follow me

All around the room

Watching soldiers wielding guns

They’re loaded, I presume

But there’s so many people

Making so much noise

Let me stop right here

So I can hear your voice

You’re a work of genius

Passed from hand to hand

Now I observe something

I can’t quite understand

Looted and brought to the Louvre

Face just as fair as a daisy’s

I bet you see more than I do

Looking beyond the truth

You were looted and brought to the Louvre

Flesh just as plump as a baby’s

I bet you see more than I do

Looking beyond the truth
